For patients battling Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) or undergoing Chemotherapy, the fight isn’t just against the disease itself. It’s often against the exhaustion, weakness, and shortness of breath caused by Anemia.
In the past, the only solution for severe anemia was frequent blood transfusions—a temporary fix with significant risks.
Today, modern medicine offers a smarter, more targeted solution: Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa.
Instead of adding outside blood to your body, this life-saving injection teaches your body to make its own red blood cells again. At Medfast, we specialize in delivering these high-value nephrology medicines and super-specialty medicines directly to your doorstep with our certified cold chain logistics
What is Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa?
To understand how it works, you need to understand your kidneys.
Healthy kidneys produce a hormone called Erythropoietin (EPO). This hormone acts as a messenger, traveling to the bone marrow and telling it to “produce more red blood cells.”
In patients with kidney failure or those on harsh chemotherapy, this natural signal gets lost. The result? The bone marrow stops producing enough red blood cells, leading to severe anemia.
Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa is a lab-made version of this exact hormone. It steps in to replace the missing signal, effectively “waking up” the bone marrow and restarting red blood cell production
Uses and Benefits
This injection is primarily used for
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): For patients on dialysis or those not yet on dialysis but suffering from anemia.
- Cancer Chemotherapy: To treat anemia caused by the toxic effects of cancer drugs.
- HIV Treatment: For patients taking Zidovudine who develop anemia.
- Pre-Surgery: To boost blood count before major surgeries to avoid the need for blood transfusions.
The Benefit? It reduces (and often eliminates) the need for blood transfusions, allowing patients to maintain their energy levels and avoid the risks of hospital-based procedures.

Why “Cold Chain” is Non-Negotiable
Here is the most critical part of your treatment: Temperature.
Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa is a protein. Like raw food, it spoils if it gets hot. It must be stored between 2°C to 8°C.
If you buy from a local chemist who turns off their fridge at night, or an online app that delivers it in a standard bike box, the medicine may lose its potency. You might inject it, but it won’t work.
The Medfast Promise: When you buy Renocel 4000 from Medfast (or any other brand), we guarantee:
- Active Cooling: Packed in thermocol boxes with pharmaceutical-grade ice packs.
- Temperature Monitoring: Ensuring the product stays in the 2°C–8°C range until it reaches your hands.
- Speed: Priority delivery to minimize transit time
Dosage and Side Effects
- Dosage: The dose (e.g., 2000 IU, 4000 IU, or 10,000 IU) is determined strictly by your Nephrologist or Oncologist based on your hemoglobin levels. It is typically given subcutaneously (under the skin) or intravenously (into the vein).
- Common Side Effects:
- Flu-like symptoms (mild fever, joint pain) initially.
- Pain at the injection site.
- High Blood Pressure: This is the most common side effect. Regular BP monitoring is essential while on this therapy
Where to Buy Genuine Erythropoietin Injections?
